Question

$$P+\frac{11}{17}=-1$$

Solve for P

$P = -\frac{28}{17} = -1\frac{11}{17} \approx -1.647058824$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{11}{17}$ from both sides.

$$P=-1-\frac{11}{17}$$

Convert $-1$ to fraction $-\frac{17}{17}$.

$$P=-\frac{17}{17}-\frac{11}{17}$$

Since $-\frac{17}{17}$ and $\frac{11}{17}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$P=\frac{-17-11}{17}$$

Subtract $11$ from $-17$ to get $-28$.

$$P=-\frac{28}{17}$$
